    The Communications Manager will provide technical guidance and support across Jacaranda’s external and internal communications with a central aim of positioning the organization as a leading thought-leader and global innovator in the health space.

    • Strategic mapping and pitching to priority local and global conferences 
    • Develop materials, including decks, for external conferences, summits, webinars, and other speaking engagements.
